The Calm before the Storm?

The New York Times: Reports on the appearance of calm in Israel at the present, but below the faced there are tensions, the NYT writes the following, “ Israel believes that Iran is hurtling toward nuclear weapons capacity amid a campaign to delegitimize Israel. “ The Obama Administration has offered a diplomatic hand to Iran but with the stolen election in Iran, the suppression of the people, the show trials it’s getting hard for Obama not to look like a mix of Jimmy Carter or Neville Chamberlain. The Obama polls ratings are sinking due to his health care reform package, if Israel was to hit Iran now the Obama Administration would have no choice but to support the move, Obama would not win a stand off with the Israeli Lobby. Thus, it might look like Israel is in a fight, but it has a few aces when it comes to Iran, its matter of when you play your hand, but there is a time limit, Iran cannot be allowed to become a nuclear power. The Government of Israel has to protect the citizens of Israel, there is no higher duty.
